I saw a movie this weekend that made me think or better yet, change my thinking. Every now and then a person (me) is slapped in the face with a touch of reality. It makes me go, really Beth, does it matter if the Quinton doesn’t do the dishes (laundry, dinner, etc…) as much as you would like, or if you don’t have that deck on the back of your house, or you can’t afford to get highlights in your hair, or you can’t experience Greece from a yacht. Let’s just say this is grateful Sunday!

I’m grateful for:

• A house to live in … a nice one!
• A wonderful family.
• The chicken dish I have simmering in my crock-pot.A job I like and that I make decent money doing.
• All the hand-me-downs my friends have given me for Marrick.
• The neighbor kid Marrick has to play with … even though he will always think he is smarter, faster and better than my son. (We know different)
• Great friends.
• Garnier hair color.
• Jeans that make my butt look a bit smaller.
• OK, I’m starting to get shallow again, I will stop now.

I could go on and on, let’s just say I have a great life and I’m happy grateful. What are you grateful for?

Oh, and go rent Slumdog Millionaire, it’s a great movie.
